"Whether it’s the guillotine, the hangman’s noose, or reciprocal endeavors of militaristic horror, radical evil will never be recompensed with radical punishment. The only answer, the only remedy, and the only truly effective response to radical evil is radical love."+ Gebre Menfes Kidus +http://bookstore.authorhouse.com/Products/SKU-000984270/Rebel-Song.aspx

"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die [...] These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." -The Lord Jesus Christ

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

Well that was a crapshoot, apparently I had to be at the location to do an interview but there's no way I can get the funds to fly out or take time off. Oh well, sucks because that would have been a great move for my "career".

Now I gotta try and ace the Friday interview. I'm kind of cocky about it because I think I can do really well.

Only pray for me, that God would give me both inward and outward strength, that I may not only speak, but truly will; and that I may not merely be called a Christian, but really be found to be one. St.Ignatius of Antioch.Epistle to the Romans.

Every negative thing that happened to me during my employment career, a job was "eliminated" in early 2004, at my favorite position I worked, I was politely ("You're a nice guy, but I have to open up some of these jobs for my people") dismissed in 2007 because I was affiliated with the wrong political party, these and other negative experiences resulted in me landing a low paying job which I only worked for 10 months because the employer unexpectedly offered a "but out" to employees in 2009 who had exactly the seniority in the retirement system that I had. I consider it a an unsolicited gift from God. My pension is based on the average of the three highest years of salary I earned, the favorite job I mentioned was where I made more than I ever made, and I worked in that job position for 3 years and 6 weeks. You never know what seemingly negative experiences can end up being quite the opposite.

You know you need humility, I was quite humbled by the low paying, clerk's job I had to accept (there were no other options after a 6.5 month job search while I was unemployed) in 2008, and 10 months later, I hit the lottery so to speak.

Didn't get it. I was next on the list and if they have an opening 3-6 months from now I'll get a call with an offer and no interview.

I really needed this. Now I am sunken more into my depression.

I had a job interview last monday and still haven't heard from them despite the wonderful hopes up they gave me. I know exactly how you feel! I tell myself that maybe God didn't let it happen because there is something better out there . Try to stay positive and work towards your next step.

Lord have mercy! May He grant you the desires of your heart!
